How to manage a big itunes library?
I have had a mac mini running itunes for about 2 1/2 years now. The inevitable has happened, my first drive has failed, at least it's icon has stopped showing on the desktop and I can't access the files.
I had a feeling this would eventually happen. I have the files backed up, but this does create a headache to fix it. The files were originally ripped on 250GB drives and the backups are on 500s. I have 5 250GB drives and one 500GB drive, all pretty much full. I have a pretty big collection, about 5000 or so CDs.
I need advise on a solid solution for this type of setup. There are some pretty big drives comming out but I just don't know what would be the best option.
Also this might seem stupid, but I am wondering if there would be any loss in quality in a copy of the original rip vs the original???
